Workouts of The Week

It's been raining here in KY for like two weeks straight, but today is supposed to be beautiful! Gotta get my food prep and laundry done early, because I plan on being outside ALL day! :) ☼☼☼

Workouts were pretty good this week, but I really gotta get back into following a structured plan. Haven't focused on really increasing my lifts or anything lately, just pretty much maintaining. But it's time to get back into it, because getting stronger really is my jam.

The good thing is-NO CROSSFIT this week! Not one kettlebell swing or burpee to be found. ;)

MONDAY UPPER BODY
Wasn't really feeling this workout, but I just went in and did something. Nothing crazy, nothing super heavy. Was just feeling kind of "blah" and not motivated. But hey, you can't always rely on motivation. Just get it done.

WEDNESDAY LOWER BODY QUAD FOCUS
I was going to do front squats, but after a few warm-up sets, I scrapped those since I was having a sharp pain in my back. Back squats felt great though, so I stuck with those. Low stance leg presses are killer and my quads were on fire by the time I got to lunges. Also, shorter strides on lunges are MUCH harder for me. Glutes were SORE from this one!

FRIDAY UPPER BODY
Upper body workouts are just SO freaking boring. I gotta find some way to change things up! Going in and just getting a pump is just not doing it for me anymore. Today was kind of fun because I actually benched for the first time in 3 months! Then did some heavy 1 arm rows and a density superset, then a little pump circuit at the end.

SATURDAY LOWER BODY HAMSTRING/GLUTE FOCUS
So my glutes were still sore from Wednesday and from bench Friday! It wasn't so bad that it interfered with my workout though. I did sets of 5 on deads with about 75-80% of my max, nothing crazy. Hip thrusts felt pretty good-what I've realized is that more padding makes the biggest difference! I have to use my squat pad and a folded up mat. Forearms were sore from Friday also, so RDLs were a little hard. I had planned on doing pull-throughs, but ALLLL of the cable were being used because the gym was packed!
